My answer for a cupholder

My son just bought a 95 BMW 540i 6speed...pretty nice car and fast too! Anyway, in the back seat was this cupholder he wasn't using. I liked the way it worked in the bimmer, and started thinking about how to adapt it for the SVX.

20 minutes later I found enough materials in the garage to create a system that works in the Subie.

A 5"x4"x1/2" piece of scrap wood, cover it with some vinyal(?) force it inbetween the passenger seat and the console and bingo, a decent looking cupholder that works for me.

Mine was free, I'll bet that they cost a pretty penny from BMW but it might be an answer for some.

Gee, I thinnk I will try that! Now, all I have to do is go out and buy a 95 BMW 540i 6speed to get the back cup holder and I will be in good shape.

Doesn't look like mine will be free though.
